http://www.minneapolisdepot.com Were anyone looking for a location to film a romantic comedy in Minneapolis, we'd direct them to The Depot Skating Rink. The cavernous space overlooking Washington Avenue is hopelessly romantic and beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer breathtaking views of the snowy cityscape. In a setting such as this, it's easy to imagine our heroine spinning around, tripping on her toe pick, and falling into the arms of that dashing fellow with the twinkling eyes. From there, the story basically writes itself: our new couple can linger over snacks at the bar -- say, warming up with a cup of hot chocolate -- or sip on wine and beer. It's a lovely place to fall in love - that is until the clichéd misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart... (The venue is also available for private rental, and offers discounts for military and college students on select nights. Their season runs from November to March.) More >>

http://www.roller-dome.com The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome has hosted some historic sports events over its 30-plus years of existence. Most famously, of course, there were the Minnesota Twins World Series wins in 1987 and 1991, not to mention that it's the only facility to have hosted a Super Bowl, World Series, Major League All-Star Game, and the NCAA men's Final Four. In addition to those numerous sports milestones that have taken place at the Dome, the site has also hosted rock concerts by the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Paul McCartney, Black Sabbath, and U2. The outdoor parking lot even played host to some outdoor festivals over the years, including the early incarnation of Soundset. Nonetheless, the old dome is in its twilight years, and is set to be demolished in February 2014 in order to make room for the new Minnesota Vikings stadium, which will be completed in 2016. This upcoming Vikings season will be the last professional sports games played in the Metrodome before they move to the Gophers' TCF Bank Stadium for the next two years while their new facility is built.

http://www.memorylanesmpls.com Bowling and rock music collide here on a regular basis. The stage is set up across four of the 30 lanes on weekend nights so you can go for that elusive 300 game while rocking out to cover bands, local bands and a smattering of touring bands from nearby states. In front is The Flashback Cafe with a menu featuring burger and fries-type fare. More >>

http://www.nba.com/timberwolves/ The Minnesota Timberwolves are an NBA franchise formed in 1989 who play their home games at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. The one-time expansion club has suffered through a futile history over the years. Their luck changed briefly during Kevin Garnett's heyday, when KG won the league's MVP in 2004, while leading the team to their only Western Conference Finals (where they eventually lost to the former Minnesota NBA franchise, the Los Angeles Lakers). The Wolves then traded Garnett, the organization's only legitimate superstar, to the Boston Celtics in 2007, and have languished in mediocrity ever since. The team has been plagued by both disastrous draft picks, poor trades, and bad luck -- infamously never moving up a place in the history of the draft lottery -- but with the emergence of Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio and some talented role players, all coached under the steady tutelage of Rick Adelman, the Wolves might have things heading in the right direction in the future.

http://www.mntwins.com Minnesota has long been Twins Territory -- since 1961, in fact – and its through their heroics that the Land of 10,000 Lakes has enjoyed some of its most memorable sports moments. Most notably, of course, were those two glorious World Series victories, notched up in 1987 and 1991, and a run of six Division titles from the early 2000s. Of course, the team's history stretches back another century, back its days as the Washington Senators, although the Twinkies themselves built their legacies on the fields of Metropolitan Stadium and the Metrodome. But it was their move to Target Field, in 2010, that truly solidified a baseball game not only as a sporting event, but a place to enjoy the best Minneapolis has to offer. There, you can sample a wide array of local eats, local beers, and occasionally even local music to accompany the baseball game on the field. Packed tightly into the Warehouse District, the ballpark rises from the shadows of legendary First Avenue and the Target Center, with Fulton’s Brewery just a hop-skip away. Target Field also pays homage to that storied past, with the entrance gates marking Twins greats -- Rod Carew, Harmon Killebrew, Tony Olivia, Kirby Puckett, and Kent Hrbek are all immortalized -- and Twins Plaza boasting a beautiful, open walkway. And then there's the field itself, that glimpse of green Kentucky bluegrass, and the sound of cracking bats, all of which can mean only one thing: it’s summertime in Minnesota. More >>

http://www.vikings.com The Minnesota Vikings are a professional football team formed in 1961, who currently play their home games at the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis. The Vikings have a long, storied history of painful defeats, including four losses without a victory in the Super Bowl, as well recent collapses in the NFC Championship's in both 1998 and 2009. The Vikings will be moving into a new home in the 2016 season built on the current Metrodome site. For the next two seasons they will play at the Gophers' football home, TCF Bank Stadium. The Vikings are led by current league MVP Adrian Peterson, who miraculously overcame a devastating knee injury to come within 9 yards of setting the NFL's single season rushing record. Hopefully, if the Vikings continue to surround Peterson with some more talent, and the All-Pro running back helps the team christen their new home with years of success and a long-awaited Super Bowl victory.
